Mediation and Church Discipline

Matthew 1816 tells us bring one or two others to be witnesses and maybe they can ask questions. Mediation ensures that we resolve it with the help of others if we can't do it on our own. You might ensure that your own boundaries are respected while also ensuring the other parties in a good position as well. This is healthy. No negotiation is figuring out where we all need to land after we've been reconciled.
